Chris, 39, from Arkansas, was last seen exploring North Carolina‘s Outer Banks with his dog Zoey before he was declared missing on January 16, days after officials found his abandoned Ford F-250 on January 12.
The case quickly took an eerie turn when investigators shared a new surveillance image of the truck from January 9 showing a blue and white kayak in the bed which was not there when they came across the vehicle.
His father revealed that the family hadn’t heard from the hiker, who was on a road trip through the National Parks, since the day the surveillance image was taken.
However, an emotional update given by Chris’ father on Saturday appears to solve the kayak riddle that had investigators stumped.
